Thunder N' Lightning In March

Thunder N' Lightning In March

©2002 by Bud Lemire

Thunder and lightning in March, how can this be

With rain following the snow, this is so crazy

Has the weather gone wacky, this doesn't seem right

With the thundering noise, and the flashing light

This doesn't happen often, and it isn't very nice

To have this rain freeze, and then turn to ice

It makes it slippery, and hard to shovel as well

How can this happen, and still be as cold as hell

I thought winter would be quiet, without Thunder and light

But it's come too soon, and it just doesn't seem right

Sure, it is great, on a warm summer night

To watch as the sky, sends a flashing of light

But in March, it is hardly around

Never thought I'd hear, that thundering sound

Here it is, what more can I say

Weather will be here, with us every day

With all the changes, that happened within a year

The weather changed also, which seems mighty queer

But I guess that is life, what else is new

Just thought you'd enjoy, my weather review

I remember that day. Mom had just passed, and I was

alone in the old Family home this March. I was outside

The snow came, the rain came with Thunder and Lightning,

and then it froze. I had just come home from helping Bob

Miller to bed, and I could use the shovel, because the rain

had frozen on top of the snow. I had to chip away at it, in

order to get to the snow. This doesn't happen often, but now

and then the weather just is a bit off the usual path.
